Xorg vesa no go?
« on: October 19, 2009, 04:22:22 PM »
On my machine, the standard Xvesa runs fine, but when I install the Xorg package
I get a 'fatal server error' when I try to run Xorg. I use the vesa driver, so it can't get simpler than this...
Can somebody look at the attached Xorg.0.log and point me in the right direction to fix this problem?

I want to add a touchscreen to my machine running TC so I need Xorg, staying with Xvesa will not work.

sure, I have followed the advise in the wiki. If you look at the logfile you will see the problem lies somewhere else.

My hardware (a fit-pc2) has a GMA500 graphics chip and a standard keyboard and mouse attached.

If you google "gma500 xorg.conf", posts like http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/08/10/intel-gma500-poulsbo-on-fedora-11-repository-with-working-3d-compiz-support/comment-page-2/ seem to be suggesting you need "Option      "IgnoreACPI"" in xorg.conf?
